Jump head first into practical software development and collaborate to build an awesome project together!
SQA Camps exists to help teenagers fall in love with Computer Science. Let's combine high-quality Software Development techniques with a solid grounding in Computer Science to open up the exciting world of computing to high school children.. They deserve the best.
In our summer camps, children learn to work together in a fun, collaborative environment with hands-on mentoring from industry experts and educators who love to teach and answer questions.
Great question! Our curriculum is flexible and caters to the needs of each cohort and a mix of a solid grounding in Computer Science concepts as well as a cool class project that everyone can be proud of.
Some examples of class projects are modern websites to list and rate restaurants, keep track of volunteering opportunities, and to create and showcase amazing graphical animations. We can also make games or musical apps that can help people make fun songs. These are just examples. When we have our sessions, we brainstorm ideas and define our creations. You know – the way people make cool stuff as professionals.
Absolutely! Our camps are for anyone who wants to learn how make stuff with computers. You will work within a team and you will have the chance to learn programming but also work in other areas of the project to help the project succeed. Remember, in the professional world, many people with different skillsets come together to achieve success together. Team work is far more important that raw technical skills.
Oh, yes. When you sign up for the SQA Teens Camp, you will become a Camp Member of STEM Quest Academy and get access to a lot of learning material as well as live coaching and mentoring sessions all year round. You will also have the chance to join our regular yearly cohorts during the school year.
We keep it fun and engaging at SQA. If you want to learn cool stuff while having fun, you should really secure your spot.
Learn the cool stuff, work in a team, and go beyond the curriculum
We are STEM Quest Academy and we believe in giving our kids the tools to succeed in their future and, unlike other STEM academies, we are not owned or sponsored by any companies pushing their products.
We looked at the top 5 Computer Science undergraduate programs in the United States and the top STEM products and services and created a unique curriculum that prepares our students with tools to excel in high school and college all while having lots of fun.
We don’t want price to be a barrier to entry for our students who are the future of our communities. In 2024, our tuition fee is only $125 per week which will likely go up to $250 in 2025.
Oh, we are glad you asked! We build a cool website together after voting to pick a project idea which ensures we customize our curriculum to the needs of each cohort.
Along the way, we learn Computer Science concepts, play games and quizzes for prizes, and come away with a project we can share online with our families.
Yes. We issue the SQA Certificate of Completion for all students who complete the camp and a special SQA Certificate of Excellence for our top students. In addition, we may give small gifts to students every week to offer positive reinforcement.
Absolutely! We are working on creating a best-in-class Computer Science curriculum and teaching system for K-12. You will be amazed!
